Next weekend I will be moving my 20 gallon tank into our new house. I have 5 fish and a fair amount of coral. Once I break the tank down, I’m going to repaint the stand with vinyl paint (quicker drying). The plan is to have one or two rocks per bucket with as much of the coral attached as possible. I figure it won’t be in the bucket for more than 8-10 hours. In the meantime, I’ll also have a fresh 20 gallons of saltwater mixed up for when everything is set back up. Anything else I should consider or do different?
I had also thought about buying a cheap 20 gallon tank and sticking a heater, powerhead and my light over it and putting most of the coral in there overnight (without rock) while the rest of the tank settles but that seems like it may create more stress on the coral and headaches for me.
